Chewing and brain growth: Reduced Mastication Impairs Memory and Learning Function
Summary: Researchers find changes in masticatory stimuli can modulate neurogenesis and hippocampal function. Published in the Journal of Dental Research, findings reveal reduced mastication impaired learning and memory function in mice. Source: Tokyo Medical and Dental University According to researchers, the frequency of mastication has dramatically decreased along with changes in dietary habits.
